Dark Horse Direct dropped a patriotic bombshell for Helldivers 2 fans this week, opening pre-orders for three official 1:1 scale helmet replicas that won’t stick around forever.
The B-01 Tactical, B-01 Tactical Battle Damaged, and B-22 Model Citizen helmets are available for pre-order until April 2nd at 5 PM PST, giving fans just a limited window to secure these wearable pieces of Super Earth arsenal before the opportunity disappears.
Full-scale replicas engineered for democracy
These aren’t desk decorations. At 11 inches tall, 10.7 inches wide, and 13.5 inches deep, the 1:1 helmets are actual wearable replicas designed with serious attention to detail. Each helmet features a tinted see-through visor, interior padding for comfort, and the iconic Helldivers skull insignia on the side.
The B-01 Tactical sports the classic rookie Helldiver look, while its Battle Damaged variant adds weathering and scratches for that “just survived Malevelon Creek” aesthetic. The B-22 Model Citizen, gifted to players who participated in the first year of the Second Galactic War, showcases a sleek black metallic finish with signature scratch marks that instantly identify it as a veteran’s helmet.
Dark Horse partnered with Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment to bring these officially licensed collectibles to life, timing the launch perfectly with Helldivers 2’s continued momentum following the Heart of Democracy update.
The update brought the fight to Super Earth itself, with hundreds of thousands of players rallying against the Illuminate invasion in the game’s urban centers alongside NPC soldiers.
Pricing and pre-order details
Each helmet is priced at $179.99, positioning them as premium collectibles for dedicated fans and cosplayers. Dark Horse emphasizes these are engineered for loyal Helldivers, meaning they’re built to handle both display and cosplay duty.
Whether you’re adding them to your gaming setup or completing a full Helldivers cosplay, these replicas deliver the scale and quality to match the game’s intense sci-fi military aesthetic. The pre-order window closes April 2nd at 5 PM PST, making this a timed exclusive that requires commitment from fans ready to spread managed democracy in style.
For Helldivers who’ve been fighting bugs and bots since launch, these helmets offer a tangible connection to countless hours spent liberating planets and dodging friendly fire. The timing couldn’t be better, with the game riding a resurgence wave that rivals its initial peak, proving that democracy never sleeps and neither does the merch machine supporting it.
